"This is another amazing book from Noam Chomsky shredding the US media to pieces, brings out their hidden agenda and fabricated lies in support of illegal crimes against humanity that are committed by CIA agents & US goverment in different parts of the world."
"If you are a non-interventionist of any stripe you should read this.
Chomsky is hard to read, but for people who are afraid that he just "hates America", it really is based in fact and he is adept as a linguist, in fact, in other parts of the world, people don't even know he is political. The guy knows how and why people use the words they use.
This book describes very well the collusion between the mass media and the govt. on issues of foreign policy, and even touches on marketing and the integration of those techniques."
"A very basic point of this book is that media don't necessarily lie, but they withhold much of the information that goes against the interest of the elites. It was written in the 80's, so it is mainly focused in Nicaragua and Israel, two of the main foci of US foreign policy of the time. Both countries represent opposing sides of depiction. The Sandinistas are, by definition, bad. The Israelis are, by definition, good. Any deviation from these premises is either criticised or ignored. Case in point. To simply suggest that Israel is one of the major terrorist countries in the world (if we define terrorism as a way of cohercing by violence a group of people for political, economical or religious reasons - which is the basic definition of terrorism, mind you) is absolutely out of the question. To simply suggest that Nicaragua had the right to defend itself from attacks within its own borders by an army organised and funded by a foreign power is simply ridiculous.
"A groundbreaking book that really established Chomsky as an authority on issues such as thought control in democratic societies. A heavy tome, that requires contemplative, patient reading, but well worth the effort."
